Feeling Overlooked?

Feeling overlooked or taken for granted?

There is a story about a young boy who seemed to get the lowliest of jobs. The youngest in the family - and not receiving much respect, he found himself assigned to spend days and nights guarding the sheep. This young shepherd was immensely talented. Not only could he sing beautifully to soothe the sheep, he could write songs to give expression to his deep thoughts. He was a marksman with his sling but his physical strength grew immensely as he defended the sheep from predators. 

In fact, it was his daily, isolated, intense training program that helped this young man prepare to one day meet a giant named Goliath. Of course, you know that David was not only known as the sweet Psalmist of Israel, and slayer of ten thousands. Most importantly, the Bible calls him, “a man after God’s own heart.”

Just a story? More than a story.  It’s a journey of faith.
